Description

UIMA offer a solution in order to access to external resources. Now a resource is initialized at startup time by reading external data from a file or via a URL. An external resource could be also example a database connection, database connection is composed by several parameters.

It would be nice if the external resource could hold a list of pairs <key-value> in order to offer more flexibility configuring external resources. The configuration parameters should be specified in descriptor file.
